This PR aims at creating a more straightforward source code directory under
src/
.The original one was used for seven years, seeing the project to grow from a small toy with a few source files to a large one as is. The old component-provider structure no longer being meaningful with the growth of features.
The new directory structure re-organize all source files according to their nature in LaTeX-Workshop. As all file moves are performed with
git mv
, the file editing history andgit blame
are preserved. Hopefully this won't be a big problem for later development.I consider this change to be necessary in order to maintain the project for the upcoming years and make the project less messy to new and potential contributors and maintainers.
The next steps after this PR will be 1) extract interfaces and types, 2) decouple the source codes, which I had been doing terribly, 3) re-visit the math preview files for a possible refactor with
unified-latex
.
